Introduction
1.1
Purpose of the Report
This Outline Plan (OP) has been prepared on behalf of City Rail Link Limited (CRLL) for lodgement with Auckland Council (AC). The works described in this report are the temporary removal and/or cut back of canopies and the relocation of utilities on the western side of Albert Street from Wellesley Street to Victoria Street West (“the Project”). The works are required to be undertaken advance of the main construction of Aotea Station as part of the City Rail Link (CRL) project under CRL Designation 1714. Given the dimensions of the station, the pile walls will clash with existing significant building canopies and utilities that support the functioning of the existing properties. These clashes need to be removed in order to construct Aotea Station. The works are authorised by the CRL Designation 1714 and the Aotea Station to North Auckland Line (A2N) resource consents 1. CRL Designation 1714 is comprised of six individual Notice of Requirement’s (NoR), referred to individually as Designations 1-6; this OP is in reference to Designation 1. CRLL is the requiring authority with financial responsibility for works within the CRL designation. In accordance with Section 176A of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), this OP provides details about the following matters:
The height, shape and bulk of the project;
The location of the project;
The finished contour of the site;
Vehicular access, circulation, and parking;
Landscaping; and
Other matters to avoid, remedy or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment.
1.2
Background
1.2.1
City Rail Link Overview
The CRL project (as shown in Figure 1) comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4km underground passenger railway, running between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line (NAL) in the vicinity of Mt Eden station. The CRL project includes the construction of twin underground rail tunnels and two underground stations (using cut and cover methods and tunnel boring methods) up to 42m below ground. Aotea Station is to be located beneath the intersection of Albert Street and Victoria Street West. In order to construct the pile walls for Aotea Station the existing significant building canopies and utilities that support the functioning of the existing properties will need to be removed or cut back and relocated. The size of the CRL project means that various packages of enabling works have been separated into a number of smaller construction contracts. It is proposed to undertake the Project works as early works in advance of the main construction of Aotea Station (Construction contract C3). The early works will be undertaken under Contract C2.1 and C2.2.

Requiring Authority
In accordance with the NZ Gazette notice 2017-go4110 confirming CRLL as a requiring authority pursuant to section 167 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), the purpose of CRLL is as follows: “City Rail Link Limited is hereby approved as a requiring authority, under section 167 of the Resource Management Act 1991, for the construction, operation, maintenance, replacement, upgrade and improvement of its network utility operation, which is the City Rail Link in Auckland and its associated and ancillary structures, works and activities.” CRLL was confirmed as a requiring authority on 10 August 2017. While the CRL Designation 1714 was confirmed by the Environment Court as a designation under the financial responsibility of Auckland Transport (AT) on 10 November 2015, this responsibility has been transferred to CRLL via Auckland Council (AC) in accordance with section 47(3) of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. This transfer was completed on 12 October 2017. Table 1 to follow provides the designation and requiring authority details. Table 1 CRL Designation 1714 summary of details

Planning Approvals Required
This OP is being lodged to authorise the district land use elements of the Project works. It is proposed to rely on the A2N main CRL works regional resource consents package (Appendix B) to authorise the regional elements of the CRL Project works. The following sections provide a description of the OP and the sections of the A2N in relation to the Project.
1.5.1
District Consents
The OP is required to authorise the district land use elements of the Project works permitted under the Designation, as outlined in Section 1.4 above.
1.5.2
Regional Consents
A regional consent package for the CRL works A2N was approved by Independent Commissioners on 18 November 2016 (attached at Appendix B). It is considered that the A2N regional consent package authorises the regional elements of the Project works, as the regional consents included for the relocation of significant utility infrastructure. An appeal against this consent package was lodged with the Environment Court on 9 December 2016. On 22 March 2017, the Court determined that the A2N regional consent package can commence with respect to the area identified by the Court. The Project works are located within this area and as such can be undertaken under the authorisation of the A2N regional consents. A copy of this Court determination is attached as Appendix C.
1.5.3
Consents under National Environmental Standards
The A2N regional consent package includes consent under the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health) Regulations 2011 (NESsoil).
1.6
Delivery Works Plans and Management Plans
All works undertaken for this Project will be carried out in accordance with this OP and Delivery Works Plans (DWP) and Management Plans (referred to as sub-plans) required by the Designation and A2N resource consent conditions, which specify the preparation and content of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP). The CEMP is attached as Appendix D to this OP. These sub-plans contained within the CEMP are identified in Table 2 below. A placeholder has been included in the CEMP for the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP), the Groundwater and Settlement Monitoring and Contingency Plan and Building Condition Surveys as these sub-plans are not required to be included in the OP and they are still being prepared. These sub-plans will be submitted to AC for certification prior to construction as required by the A2N resource consent conditions.

Site Description
3.1
Site Details
The Project site is located along the western side of Albert Street between Victoria Street and Wellesley Street in Auckland Central, within the CRL designation. Upper Albert Street is a highly utilitarian environment, dominated by high-rise buildings and defined by the major sets of traffic lights at either end of the block demarking the streets intersections with Victoria Street West and Wellesley Street West. Albert Street, Wellesley Street West and Victoria Street West all currently have concrete footpaths on both sides with signalised pedestrian crossings at each intersection. There is one signalised pedestrian crossing at the Crown Plaza outside the AC Building. This section of Albert Street is characterised primarily by the four lane road, adjacent footpaths, traffic lights and commercial buildings. Opposite 99 Albert Street is an open air car park, which also hosts the Sky Screamer Reverse Bungy. The northern and southern reaches of Albert Street are referred to as Upper and Lower Albert Street, as this street rises up a hill from the waterfront from north to south. Lower Albert Street is the northern end of Albert Street that begins at the bottom of the hill just off Quay Street by the waterfront. Upper Albert Street is the southern end of Albert Street at the top of the hill where it levels out, ending at Wellesley Street. At Upper Albert Street there is a constant stream of vehicle and pedestrian traffic flows especially at peak times. This section of Upper Albert Street itself is relatively flat and is on edge of a hill, heading up to the west towards Federal Street (parallel) and sloping downwards towards Queen Street (also parallel). Albert Street is classified as a local road within the AUP and on street parking is prohibited on this section of the street. Lower Albert Street, Victoria Street West and Wellesley Street West all currently have temporary lane restrictions due the CRL enabling works. Of these enabling works, the Albert Street Stormwater works reduce both Victoria Street West and Wellesley Street West to a single lane of traffic in each direction at Albert Street. These works are anticipated to be completed in December 2017. There are four buildings impacted by the proposed early works each with circulation and entrances alongside Albert Street, vehicle crossings and a number of retail tenancies. The details of the impacted buildings are set out in Table 5 below: Table 5 Details of the impacted buildings on Albert Street

Description of the Project
It is proposed to undertake early works in advance of the main construction of the City Rail Link (CRL) Aotea Station (Construction Contract C3). The early works will be undertaken under the CRL Construction Contracts C2.1 and C2.2 and involve the temporary removal and/or cut back of building canopies and the relocation of underground utilities along the western side of Albert Street from Wellesley Street to Victoria Street West. The suite of Delivery Work Plans (DWP) and subsequent management plans are attached as appendices to the CEMP (attached at Appendix D) and have been prepared to meet the conditions in the Designation and the A2N resource consents outlined in Section 2 of this OP. For more detail find the site layout plans (attached as Appendix E and in Appendix C of the CEMP) and Figure 2 to 4 of the TAP DWP (attached as Appendix E of the CEMP, drawing title [PXJ-0778]).
4.1
Canopy Removal and Cut-backs
The underground Aotea Station occupies the full width of Albert Street, with only a 2.5m gap in places between the piled station wall and the existing buildings. Consequently, construction of the piled wall requires the temporary removal of the existing canopies from the AA (99 Albert Street), and Sky City (109-125 Albert Street) buildings as well as the cutback of the existing canopies from the Manhattan Apartment (103-107 Albert Street) and AC (135 Albert Street) buildings, as identified in Table 5 of Section 3. The canopies themselves presently cover the concrete pedestrian footpath and extend out to different lengths. The canopy removal or cut back works, specifically the extent of dismantling / removal, is different for each building, however there are common methodologies that will apply to each stage, and similar tools and techniques will be used throughout (detailed in the CEMP attached at Appendix D).
4.2
Utility Works
The network of buried pipes and cables under Albert Street will need to be permanently diverted to enable construction of the station. The existing services will be relocated into a shared services trench approximately 4.0m in depth by 1.5m in width, located in the space between the new station wall and the existing buildings. Figure 3 in Section 5.1 of this AEE shows the general site location, layout, temporary pedestrian pathways, vehicle entrances and hoardings. Based on the approximate distance from the corners of Albert Street with Wellesley Street and Victoria Street West, it is estimated the trench will be about 220m long and the excavated volume about 1,320m3.
4.3
Construction Methodology
The construction methodology focusses on minimising disruption to vehicle and pedestrian access, minimising disruption and outages to services and providing advanced notice of works through public information and consultation with directly affected and affected in proximity parties. The construction sequence and methodology are detailed in the following sections.
4.3.1
Construction Sequence
The construction work will require the closure of two lanes of traffic on the west side of Albert Street, from Wellesley Street to Victoria Street, for the 15 months duration of the works. Re-routing of buses

and relocation of the bus stops away from this section is scheduled to take effect from 8th January 2018. Above ground works commence with the removal of the canopy at the AA building, cut back of the canopy at the Manhattan Apartments building, removal of the canopy and the glazed spa entrance at Sky City and cut-back of the canopy at the Auckland Council building. Once canopies have been removed or sufficiently cut-back, below ground works commence with excavation of the shared utility services trench between the AA building on the corner of Albert Street and Victoria Street and the Auckland Council Building on the corner of Albert Street and Wellesley Street. New pipes for the stormwater, wastewater and water supply services, and new ducts for the power and telecommunication cables, will then be installed in the trench. Following re-connection and testing of all relocated services, the footpath will be reinstated, all temporary hoardings and traffic management removed, and the site left clean and tidy in its normal condition (minus the building canopies).
4.3.2
Methodology – Canopy Removal / Dismantling
The canopy removal works, specifically the extent of dismantling / removal, is different for each building, however there are common methodologies that will apply to each stage, and similar tools and techniques will be used throughout, as detailed in the schedule below. The equipment listed in Table 6 below will be supplemented by normal hand tools, ladders and handheld power tools.

4.3.3
Methodology – Utility Services Relocation
Following canopy removal, below ground works will commence on the shared utility services trench. The trench will be excavated in two stages:
First stage to 1.5m depth, around existing cable services; and Second stage to approximately 4m depth, for installation of new stormwater and wastewater mains.
Hydro-vac excavation will be used where ever possible, to minimise noise and vibration, and to protect existing buried services. Temporary pedestrian and vehicle bridges will be provided where the trench runs across building entrances. The trench will also be backfilled in two discrete stages:
First stage to backfill over the new pipes to approximately 1.5m below ground level; and Second stage to backfill around the new ducts and cables to the surface.
After the first stage of backfilling, the new stormwater and wastewater mains will be tested, then individual property connections (branches) installed, allowing installation of the water supply main. The water main will be tested and then connected to the individual properties. Cable ducts for power and telecommunications cables are then laid in the trench, and the trench is then backfilled to the surface. Cable joint pits are then excavated, cables pulled through the ducts, and cable cutovers and connected to individual properties. This section of the work includes power and communications outages, which will be planned and coordinated with building occupants, to minimise disruption. Abandoned or redundant services will then be removed from the station wall piling line, all excavations backfilled and the footpath pavement reinstated. The equipment listed in Table 7 below will be supplemented by hand tools, ladders and hand-held power tools. Table 7 Methodology and approximate duration of utilities relocation tasks and activities

Project Programme
The Project is anticipated to commence work in January 2018 and is programmed for a 15 month construction period. The approximate timing of these main activities is shown in Table 6 and Table 7 above. Connectus, the contractor already working on the C2 works in Albert Street, have been appointed as the contractor for these works. The above methodology and the programme have been devised with their early contractor involvement. The 15 month construction period is based on Connectus and CRLL’s best knowledge of underground services and therefore the scope of work considered at the time of preparing this plan. Should additional complexity or additional underground services be encountered during the course of the Project, then the project duration will extend beyond 15 months. To ensure the Project works are undertaken as quickly and efficiently as possible, construction sequence activities may be performed in parallel, i.e. canopies removed/cut-back from more than one building simultaneously.
4.5
Hours of Operation
The Designation conditions specify noise and vibration limits to restrict noise and vibration generating activities at specified times between 0700 and 2200 hours. In this instance the Project works will be undertaken between 0700 and 1900 Monday to Saturday.

Outline Plan Requirements
As outlined in Section 2.2 above, the Project is comprised of works to be undertaken within the Designation and Section 176A of the RMA sets out the matters which must be included in an OP for those works. This information is provided in the following sections. A full description of the Project is contained in Section 4 of this OP. Site layout plans are attached as Appendix E.
5.1
Height, Shape and Bulk of the Project
During construction a maximum of two lanes will be closed off on Albert Street between Victoria Street West and Wellesley Street to make way for the Albert Street canopy removal and cut-back works and utilities trench. The construction of the trench piled wall requires the temporary removal of the existing canopies from the AA (99 Albert Street), and Sky City (109-125 Albert Street) buildings as well as the cutback of the existing canopies from the Manhattan Apartment (103-107 Albert Street) and Auckland Council (135 Albert Street) buildings. The existing services will be relocated into a shared services trench approximately 4.0m in depth by 1.5m in width, located in the space between the new station wall and the existing buildings. Based on the approximate distance from the corners of Albert Street with Wellesley Street and Victoria Street West, it is estimated the trench will be about 220m long and the excavated volume about 1,320m3. The nature and scale of the Project is described in further detail in Section 4 of this OP. Figure 3 below shows the general location of the canopy removals or cut backs and utilities trenching. Figure 3 Location and approximate extent of canopy removals and cutbacks and the utilities trench
5.2
Location on the Site
The location of the Project is illustrated in Figure 3 above, and described in detail in Section 3 of this report. The works subject to this OP are provided for within the Designation as described in Section 2.
5.3
Likely Finished Contour of the Site
The finished contour of the site will be of the same gradient as the preconstruction level of Albert Street. Reinstatement of the road reserve will be undertaken to provide for pedestrian and vehicle 18
Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax | Grimshaw I ARUP
CRL-PAT-RME-000-RPT-0102 Project 239933 | 17 October 2017 | Revision 3
passage in the period between completion of the Project works and commencement of the Contract 3 main CRL works. Following re-connection and testing of all relocated services, the footpath will be reinstated, all temporary hoardings and traffic management removed, and the site left clean and tidy in its normal condition (minus the building canopies).
5.4
Vehicular Access, Circulation, and Parking
Access to the site will be from the surrounding road network. Access to all properties adjacent to the Project on Albert Street will be maintained at all times, except when short closures are required to enable critical works to be carried out. Pedestrian access will be maintained using container walkways and the existing building under crofts to ensure a consistent and legible environment. The construction methodology detailed in Section 4 focusses on minimising disruption to vehicle and pedestrian access, minimising disruption and outages to services, and providing advanced notice of works through public information and consultation with directly affected and affected in proximity parties. Various construction activities will result in disruption to the existing traffic network and environment for the duration of the Project. This traffic disruption has the potential to result in adverse effects on pedestrian safety and amenity, transport and property access. Mitigation of the effects from the Project on the transport network has been developed to meet the requirements of the Designation conditions, AT Code of Practice (ATCoP) and Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM; NZTA). The effects on the traffic environment will be mitigated through the TAP DWP (Appendix D of the CEMP (attached at Appendix C)), which describes the vehicle access, circulation and provisions for parking over the duration of the Project. In particular, Figure 2 to 4 of the TAP DWP (drawing title [PXJ-0778]) illustrates where the work areas, safety zones and all traffic related controls are to be placed within the Project area.
5.5
Proposed Landscaping
Currently, there is no landscaping in the Project area. Given the nature and scale of the CRL Project, landscaping will be addressed on a CRL Project wide basis in a subsequent OP for the main CRL works. The Project is in advance of the CRL works, therefore the streetscape will be returned to a functioning state and the final landscaping will commence at completion of the main CRL works.
5.6
Other Matters to Avoid, Remedy, or Mitigate Adverse Effects
The Project CEMP and sub-plan suite of documents have been developed to provide a comprehensive framework for the proposed management of environmental effects during construction of the Project. Each DWP fulfils the requirements of the relevant designation conditions in order to avoid, remedy and mitigate potential adverse effects on the environment. These measures have been summarised in the sections below.
5.6.1
Effects of Construction Noise and Vibration
During the Project, construction vibration could potentially cause building damage and construction noise could potentially cause discomfort and inconvenience to adjacent businesses and residents. Various construction processes and pieces of equipment will act as noise and vibration sources on site. The level of noise and vibration generated by the Project will be dependent on the type of activity
19
Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax | Grimshaw I ARUP
CRL-PAT-RME-000-RPT-0102 Project 239933 | 17 October 2017 | Revision 3
undertaken at any given time. Construction noise and vibration effects will be temporary and will generally occur between 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday. Construction activities associated with the works will be undertaken to ensure that construction noise complies New Zealand Standard NZS6803:1999 “Acoustics – Construction Noise”. Construction noise will be managed to comply with the Project Standards, unless otherwise provided for. Construction vibration associated with the works will be measured and assessed in accordance with German Standards DIN 4150-3:1999 “Structural Vibration – Part 3 Effects of Vibration on Structures”. Construction vibration will be managed to comply with the Project Standards for building damage. Mitigation measures for construction noise and vibration are outlined in detailed in the CNV DWP and the Site Specific Construction Noise Management Plans (SSCNMPs) (attached at Appendix F of the CEMP (attached at Appendix D)).
5.6.2
Effects on Archaeology
The Project involves excavation for the utilities trench to a depth of 4m, which has the potential to impact on areas of cultural and archaeological significance. In addition, accidental discovery of archaeological remains could occur while the Project Archaeologist is not present. Mitigation measures for the potential effects on archaeology from the Project are detailed in the HC DWP (attached at Appendix G of the CEMP (attached at Appendix D)).
5.6.3
Effects of Earthworks
The earthworks for the Project involves the excavation of a shared services trench approximately 4m in depth by 1.5m in width for the relocation of existing utilities services, located in the space between the new station wall and the existing buildings. Based on the approximate distance from the corners of Albert Street with Wellesley Street and Victoria Street West, it is estimated the trench will be about 220m long and the excavated volume about 1,320m3. The potential and actual adverse effects that may arise from the proposed earthworks are localised erosion and sediment discharge. Therefore, erosion and sediment control details required by the designation and are included in the CEMP (attached at Appendix D), which ensures measures are put in place to appropriately control the effects of earthworks on the surrounding environment.
5.6.4
Effects of Contaminated Land
The Project involves construction activities that will result in the disturbance and removal of contaminated soil up to a depth of 4m and will potentially result in discharges from the construction support areas to land or water. In addition, material is required to be removed from site into an appropriately licenced facility. Therefore, there is the potential for adverse effects from contaminated land on people’s health and the surrounding environment. There is also the potential that fill is incorrectly identified or classified from the Project site and delivered to the wrong facility. The CDWP attached at Appendix H of the CEMP (attached at Appendix D) outlines the mitigation measures that will be undertaken for the duration of the Project in order to avoid and mitigate the potential adverse effects of the construction activities
5.6.5
Effects on Infrastructure
A number of utilities (such as power, water, or communications) are located within the footprint of the Project, the relocation of which are the main focus for half of the works. The locations of all network utilities in the Project area have been identified. Discussions and consultation with Network Utility Operators (NUOs) has been ongoing with regard to the protection and relocation of these utilities. Potential effects to utilities include damage to utilities, particularly previously unidentified utilities and disruption to the NUOs.
20
Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax | Grimshaw I ARUP
CRL-PAT-RME-000-RPT-0102 Project 239933 | 17 October 2017 | Revision 3
The affected NUOs have been consulted and engaged with as the design has developed for the utility relocation works,
5.6.6
Effects on Air Quality
Construction activities for the trench excavations and canopy removal works may generate discharges of dust, odour and hazardous air pollutants. This can include offensive or objectionable dust or odour affecting sites or parties beyond the designation boundary, or hazardous air pollutants that cause, or are likely to cause, adverse effects on human health, environment or property. Mitigation of the potential effects on air quality is detailed in the Air Quality (AQ) DWP (Appendix I of the CEMP (attached at Appendix D)).
5.6.7
Social Impacts and Business Disruption
The scale and duration of the Project has the potential to disrupt access to businesses and residential buildings adjacent to the Project construction area. The Project can disturb parties through noise and vibration, access and traffic disruption and dust which has the potential to reduce amenity for residents and also result in a loss of customers to businesses directly adjoining the construction site. Affected and affected in proximity parties have been identified and mitigation measures for the potential social impacts and business disruption arising from the Project are detailed within the Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plan (SIBD DWP) (Appendix J of the CEMP (attached at Appendix D)) that is submitted as part of this OP. Consultation has also been undertaken with affected and affected in proximity parties to understand the potential impacts that may affect each party, and any specific requirements they may have.
5.6.8
Monitoring
Scheduled monitoring of environmental performance and compliance with the Designation is required throughout the construction phase of the Project to ensure that adverse effects are appropriate managed. The specifics of monitoring for each environmental element are detailed in the CEMP and appended sub-plans, including any monitoring requirements, the frequency of the monitoring to be undertaken and the appropriate responsible person, as required within contract documentation or environmental approvals issued for the Project. In general, monitoring will be conducted on a routine basis. However, additional monitoring may be required in the event of a complaint or incident.

Consultation
6.1
Introduction
Project consultation and engagement has been undertaken and is ongoing for various parties. A CCP is attached as Appendix K to the CEMP (attached at Appendix D). The CCP has been prepared to address the communication and consultation related conditions established through the CRL NoR process and the CRL A2N resource consents. The CCP also has a summary of the other communication and consultation mechanisms associated with the Project. The purpose of the CCP is to:
Address the communication and consultation processes that will ensure a quality and successful approach is achieved throughout the Project;
Identify the Project communications channels, audiences and timeframes for the construction periods; and
Identify how the affected community will be informed of construction progress, activity and milestones.
The CCP sets out a framework to ensure appropriate communication and consultation is undertaken with the community, stakeholders, affected parties and affected in proximity parties during the construction of the Project in accordance with condition 15 of the CRL designation and conditions 2533 of the A2N resource consents. Local residents and businesses will be advised well in advance of commencement of works in addition to fortnightly project progress meetings. A communications plan has been prepared to ensure residents and businesses are informed of the works on matters relating to the programme, potential construction effects and temporary traffic management measures.
6.2
Public Engagement
A range of engagement channels and tools will be utilised, which are detailed in the CCP. Construction look ahead newsletters, signage, face-to-face interactions, website and social media are the main communications channels used. In keeping with CRL project sustainability goals, there is a preference for electronic media rather than printed material. A key communications strategy is the use of the CRL website, which contains vital and interesting information for both the local community and a wider audience. It will also have links to other information produced by CRL which includes newsletters, brochures and social media posts. All media enquiries will be channelled through the CRL Communications Manager, who will discuss the recommended approach with the CRL Project Manager. CRL has an established call centre number and email address for public enquiries. For the CRL project, this line connects to a dedicated line direct to the project’s communications staff. In addition, access to a member of the contractor team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the free phone number: 0800 CRL TALK (275 8255). This number will be promoted to affected owners, occupiers, businesses and stakeholders before construction commences. This number will feature on all project signage, communication material, CRL website, and other collateral. All public enquiries and complaints will follow a set management process that adheres to specified response timeframes, as detailed in the CCP.

6.3
Community Business Liaison Group
The Aotea CBLG provides the community with a voice to ensure key issues identified through the planning process are given due and ongoing consideration. As required by the CRL designation and A2N resource consents, representatives of local residents and businesses as well as named parties were invited to join the Aotea CBLG. Membership of the Aotea CBLG includes representatives of the CRL Team. During the construction period, the Aotea CBLG will also include representatives from the contractor, Connectus. Other members of the Aotea CBLG include representatives from affected property owners, businesses and Heart of the City. The Project is the first CRL enabling works contract to go to the Aotea CBLG. Various CBLG meetings have been held to date to review and have input into the development of the CEMP and sub-plans. Throughout the construction period, the Aotea CBLG is required to meet at least quarterly.
6.4
Parties Affected by the Project
A list of the parties and contact details affected by the Project are provided in Appendix B of the CCP (attached at Appendix K of the CEMP (attached at Appendix D)). Details for establishing the affected area and thus the affected and affected in proximity parties are detailed in the SIBD DWP (attached at Appendix J of the CEMP (attached at Appendix D)). The contractor is responsible for keeping this list updated during the construction project. These affected and affected in proximity parties are institutions, services, operators, partners and people including:
Government;
Emergency services;
Network Utility Operators;
Mana Whenua;
Business and property owners; and
Residences.
An assessment of social effects was prepared as one of the suite of technical reports to inform the assessment of environmental effects (AEE) to support the Notices of Requirement (NoR) for the CRL designations. This detailed assessment considered that the most effective method for mitigating the adverse effects of the Project is regular and ongoing communication and liaison with those affected parties to provide certainty (where able). Therefore, consultation and engagement activities with affected parties to date was undertaken and are summarised in the following sections.
6.4.1
Government
CRL team is required to engage AC Parks Department, however, there are no trees on in the construction footprint or in close proximity to the footprint. For the purposes of applying for the necessary Archaeological Authority for the CRL main works, extensive consultation has been undertaken with the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Tāonga Regional Archaeologist during the processing of the Archaeological Authority. The Project was discussed with the former Auckland Council Major Infrastructure Team on 7 June and 11 July 2017 where confirmation of the necessary supporting sub plans for the Project was received. 2

Building Condition Surveys Process for Building Condition Surveys
1 46
46.1 Prior to construction, as a minimum those buildings listed in Appendix One and Appendix Two or identified pursuant to Condition 41.2(b) will be considered for a building condition survey. A building condition survey will be undertaken where it is assessed that there is potential for damage to buildings or structures arising from construction as determined by an independent suitably qualified person appointed by the Requiring Authority based on the criteria below unless the relevant industry criteria applied at the time or heightened building sensitivity or other inherent building vulnerability requires it. Building damage criteria will initially be assessed in accordance with Burland, J.B. (1997) “Assessment of Risk of Damage to Buildings due to Tunnelling and Excavation”. Additional factors which may be considered in determining whether a building condition survey will be undertaken include:
2
(a) Age of the building;
4
(b) Construction types;
5
(c) Foundation types;
6
(d) General building condition; (e) Proximity to any excavation; (f) Whether the building is earthquake prone; and (g) Whether any basements are present in the building. 46.2 Where prior to construction it is determined that a Building Condition Survey is required in accordance with Condition 46.1, or if measurements exceed the criteria in Condition 33: (a) The Requiring Authority shall employ a suitably qualified person to undertake the building condition surveys and that person shall be identified in the CEMP; (b) The Requiring Authority shall provide the building condition survey report to the relevant property owner within 15 working days of the survey being undertaken, and

footprint used during the construction of the City Rail Link are to be restored and the permanent works associated with the CRL are developed in accordance with urban design principles. The following Principles from the Urban Design Framework submitted as part of the Notice of Requirement documents will be used to inform the Urban Design and Landscape Plan: (a) Mana Whenua Principles – see Condition 49; (b) Movement and Connections – (i) Existing Networks - Structures of the CRL should not interrupt or adversely change the function of existing public open space, street networks and infrastructure. (ii) Entrance Location - Station entrances should be clearly identifiable and conveniently located in relation to existing and anticipated main pedestrian routes and destinations. (iii) Intuitive Orientation - The location and nature of structures resulting from the CRL (station entrances in particular) should facilitate intuitive orientation and support a legible street network. (iv) Way Finding - Coherent signage should be utilised to aid intuitive orientation and way finding. (v) Mode Integration - Spatial integration with bus stops as well as kiss and ride should be facilitated where possible without imposing on the quality of public realm. (vi) Bicycle Parking – Appropriate numbers of safe bicycle storage or parking should be provided in each station environment. (vii) Street Crossings - Safe pedestrian street crossings shall be provided in the immediate vicinity of station entrances to the extent practicable. The provision of level street crossings is preferable over any grade separated solutions. (viii) Footpaths – Footpaths surrounding stations need to be adequate to provide for pedestrians entering and exiting the stations. (ix) Grade separated rail crossings – Structures associated with grade separated rail crossings need to be carefully and sensitively designed and in accordance with crime prevention through environmental design principles to ensure appropriate amenity and safety are retained or achieved. Measures to achieve this may include: a.
Utilising permeable balustrades on overbridges;
b.
Maximising the width of the footpath at grade in street reserves;
c.
Orientating any steps parallel to overbridges;
d.
Providing appropriate levels of lighting (in accordance with the Auckland Transport Street Lighting Policy (Appendix 1) for “Pathways in high risk, high brightness areas”); and
e.
Treatment of the sides of ramps and footpaths to enhance visual amenity.
(x) Grade separated rail crossings – Permeable balustrades on overbridges should be required not only for crime prevention purposes but to enable views into the neighbouring sites. For clarity all balustrades comprised within Normanby Road grade separation works (as defined in condition 30.1(l) shall be permeable including without limitation the ramp to be constructed into the site at 32 Normanby Road. (c) Public Realm and Landscape –
City Rail Link Notice of Requirement
Page 51
Condition Number
Condition
NoR Applies to
(i) Existing Streetscape – Structures of the CRL should be designed to respect and contribute positively to the form and function of existing public open space. (ii) Universal Access – Station environments should promote universal access (e.g. footpath ramps and smooth ground surfaces). (iii) Safe Environments – Structures resulting from the CRL should promote safe environments. The station entrances should release patrons into safe public spaces that are well lit at night, overlooked by other users (e.g. residents or workers) and have sufficiently wide and unobstructed footpaths. (iv) Reinstated Surfaces - The design and construction of reinstated streetscapes should be coherent with the wider area and/or recent public realm upgrades in the area. (v) Station Plazas - The design and construction of station plazas should be coherent with the wider area and/or recent public realm upgrades in the area. (vi) Public Art - Integration of art and design should foster local identity and character and reflect and/or interpret local characteristics including natural heritage and Mana Whenua cultural narratives, history, art and particular traits of the local community. (vii) Landscape Planting – Plant species used in station environments and/or as part of landscape plantings should consider the opportunity to acknowledge the area’s pre-human ecology as and where appropriate. This may include species which connect strongly with Mana Whenua cultural narratives. (viii) Entrances within the Road Reserve - Designs for station entrances within the road reserve should be designed to consider the impacts upon other modes of traffic, including the expected pedestrian patronage. (ix) Utility Structures - Above ground utility structures (e.g. vents, access services) should be designed to minimise any negative effect on public realm. Where possible these structures should be integrated with other buildings. (x) Where landscape planting is affected by construction works on private properties, replanting and/or mitigation of any such landscaping shall be undertaken in consultation with those landowners, and in recognition of wider mitigation works required for those properties (e.g. vehicle parking and access requirements). 47.3 The Urban Design DWP shall show how these principles have been used to guide and influence the design of permanent works associated with the CRL, and how the design has responded or otherwise to these principles and initiatives. 47.4 The work to restore those areas within the designation footprint used during construction of the City Rail Link will occur as part of construction or within six months of the City Rail Link being operational. Auckland Council Urban Design Panel 47.5 The Requiring Authority shall request the Auckland Council to refer the Urban Design DWP to the Auckland Urban Design Panel (or other equivalent entity (if any) at that time) and invite the Auckland Urban Design Panel to comment on: (a) The degree to which the Urban Design DWP has appropriately responded to the principles listed in 47.2 and 49.1; (b) The degree to which station plans have appropriately responded to the principles listed in Condition 54.1. 47.6 As part of the Urban Design DWP submitted, the Requiring Authority shall:

4 5 6
48.1 The Urban Design DWP shall include any replacement planting proposed to mitigate the adverse effects of tree and vegetation removal from within the designation footprint. It is acknowledged that the mitigation of effects of tree and vegetation removal will be considered in response to the urban design principles of Condition 47. 48.2 Any landscaping included under the Urban Design DWP shall be implemented in accordance with this plan within the first planting season following the City Rail Link being operational. If the weather in that planting season is unsuitable for planting, as determined by the Auckland Council Consent Monitoring officer (in consultation with the Auckland Council Parks Department), the landscaping shall instead be implemented at the first practicable opportunity thereafter. The next practicable opportunity shall be agreed by the Auckland Council Consent Monitoring officer. 48.3 The landscaping will be maintained by the Requiring Authority for a period of 5 years for specimen trees and 3 years for all other landscape planting. Engagement with Mana Whenua and the Mana Whenua Principles 49.1 The Urban Design DWP shall include: (a) How mana whenua (see Condition 8) have been engaged with during its development in relation to the implementation and interpretation of the Principles set out under Condition 47, and particularly in relation to the mana whenua principles set out below:
1 49
4 5 6
(i) Mana / Rangatiratanga – As the original local authorities of Tamaki Makaurau, Iwi require high level Treaty based relationships with all key stakeholders including the Requiring Authority and Auckland Council which recognise their Tangata Whenua status in order to fulfil their roles as kaitiaki. Such partnership relationships can then inform engagement with AT / Council at all levels including direct involvement with design consortia. Relationships are required at governance and senior management levels. Such relationships are a precursor to actualising the other 6 principles. (ii) Whakapapa – Names and genealogical connections– reviving names revives mana through Iwi connections to specific ancestors and events / narratives associated with them. An Iwi inventory of names associated with a given site can be developed so that the most appropriate names are identified to develop design, interpretation and artistic responses. (iii) Tohu – Acknowledging the wider significant Iwi cultural land marks associated with the CRL route and their ability to inform the design of the station precincts, entrances and exits. In particular exploring opportunities to maximise view

shafts to such tohu / landmarks as a way of both enhancing cultural landscape connections and as way finding / location devices. (iv) Taiao – Exploring opportunities to bring natural landscape elements back into urban /modified areas e.g. specific native trees, water / puna wai (springs) – promoting bird, insect and aquatic life to create meaningful urban eco systems which connect with former habitats, mahinga kai (food gathering areas) and living sites. (v) Mauri tu – Ensuring emphasis on maintaining or enhancing environmental health / life essence of the wider site – in particular focusing on the quality of wai / water (puna / springs), whenua / soil and air. In particular any puna or underground waterways encountered should be carefully treated with Mana Whenua assistance to ensure their mauri is respected and enhanced where possible. It is also important to minimise the disturbance to Papatuanuku through carefully planned ground works. (vi) Mahi toi – Harnessing the Creative dimension through drawing on names and local tohu to develop strategies to creatively re-inscribe iwi narratives into architecture, interior design, landscape, urban design and public art. (vii) Ahi kaa – need to explore opportunities to facilitate living presences for iwi / hapu to resume ahi-kaa and kaitiaki roles in and around the CRL route and new station precincts; and (b) A summary of the engagement with mana whenua (see Condition 15) and identification of where design has incorporated the mana whenua principles and other mana whenua aspirations. The summary must include a clear explanation of where any comments have not been incorporated and the reasons why not. The summary must be included in the Urban Design DWP submitted to both the Independent Peer Review Panel and Auckland Council as part of the Outline Plan.

Station Plan Requirements 54.1 The Urban Design DWP shall include a Station Plan/s (report and design plan/s as required) and include the following: (a) The design details showing both the above ground and below ground elements of the station/s; (b) How the above ground and below ground design of the stations has taken into account the following principles:
1 54
4 5
(i) Overarching - stations should achieve a successful and memorable transport experience. (ii) Function - stations will provide safe, functional and clear transport solutions. (iii) Performance - stations will provide a credible, sustainable design outcome that responds to climate, site and social economics. (iv) Personality - stations will provide an expression that contributes to their context and local identity and will respond to an appropriate network wide identity. (v) Existing and New Building Structures. (vi) Built Heritage:
Where built heritage is required for City Rail Link station requirements, adaptive reuse strategies should be considered to preserve the building’s role in establishing the streetscape and urban character. The development of new buildings and structures should minimise impact on, and disturbance of, Built heritage listed by the New Zealand Historic

Places Trust or the Auckland Council District Plan that play a significant role in establishing the streetscape and urban character of the local area. (vii) Bulk, Scale and Massing:
Bulk, scale and massing of structures resulting from the City Rail Link (station buildings in particular) should be sympathetic with the surrounding built urban form. Aotea Station building frontages should correspond with the road reserve boundary unless a specific station plaza area is intended. Karangahape Road station building(s) should be sensitively designed so as to contribute positively and to complement the good public realm and urban form qualities that currently exist in this area of Karangahape Road, Pitt Street and the upper end of Beresford Street. The redevelopment of land acquired for the Newton Station provides the opportunity for a continuous active building frontage to correspond with the road reserve boundary, providing: This does not conflict with the operation requirements of the station; or Unless a specific station plaza area is intended.
(viii) Active Frontage – Structures resulting from the City Rail Link should present an active frontage towards public spaces like streets, squares, pedestrian walkways or station plaza areas provided that this doesn’t conflict with the operation requirements of the station. : Where no active frontage is proposed, an explanation of the reasons shall be outlined in the Urban Design DWP. (ix) Weather Protection – Where practicable, station entrances should provide some weather protection along their frontage (e.g. verandahs, awnings, canopies etc.) and these should be considered as part of the design. (x) Adaptability – The design of structures resulting from the City Rail Link should be able to adapt to change over time (e.g. change of uses, innovations in technology etc.) where reasonably practicable and anticipate opportunities (e.g. additional entrances) that may become possible in the future. The station design should not inhibit wider development opportunities (e.g. above or around station entrances). (xi) Identity – The design of the station entrances should provide an expression that reflects their respective context and local cultural identity. They could reflect, respond and/or interpret local characteristics like natural or Mana Whenua heritage, history, art, particular traits of the local community and unique architectural and urban forms of the area. (xii) Construction Quality – The design and construction of structures resulting from the City Rail Link (station buildings in particular) should be of a quality that lasts over time. Materials should be selected that are highly durable, elegant and vandal resistant where they come into contact with patrons. (xiii) Mana Whenua Principles – see Condition 49. (c) How these principles have been used to guide and influence the design, and how the design has responded, or otherwise, to these principles and initiatives; and (d) A summary of the engagement with mana whenua (see Condition 15) and identification of where design has incorporated the mana whenua principles and other mana whenua aspirations into station design. The summary must include a clear explanation of where any comments have not been incorporated and the

The Requiring Authority will require an Authority under the Historic Places Act 1993 to destroy, damage or modify any archaeological site. This Authority is required in advance of earthworks commencing in the area where the archaeological site is located. It is expected that there will be staged Section 12 Authority applied for to cover the earthworks programme. In the event of unanticipated archaeological sites or koiwi being uncovered the Requiring Authority shall cease activity in the vicinity until it has the relevant approvals, and consulted with the Historic Places Trust and relevant iwi interests. The Requiring Authority will need to acquire the relevant property interests in land subject to the designation before it undertakes any works on that land pursuant to the designation. That may include a formal Public Works Act 1981 land acquisition process. It is acknowledged that property rights issues are separate from resource management effects issues and that the resolution of property issues may be subject to confidentiality agreements between the Requiring Authority and the relevant landowners. Prior to construction if Network Utility Operators are carrying out works that do not require prior written consent of the Requiring Authority in accordance with condition 6 of this designation, they must carry out those works in accordance with the Corridor Access Request (CAR) Process (as set out in Part 4 of the National Code of Practice for Utility Operators’ Access to Transport Corridors 2011) where that process applies to the works being carried out. Under section 176 of the RMA no person may do anything in relation to the land subject to the designation that would prevent or hinder the Rail Link without the written approval of the Requiring Authority.
